Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board is orchestrating a procurement process for Non Emergency Patient Transport Services in Cheshire, under the Provider Selection Regime as stipulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The intended contract, initially planned for award to West Midland Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust, covers a service period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, bearing an estimated annual contract value of £15,097,768. While the initial decision to award was made on 19th March 2026, the process encountered revisions due to unforeseen issues, and the contracting decision will be revisited. The procurement, categorised under health services, did not require prior advertisement, and deliberations take place in Warrington, with services extending to regions UKD6 and UKG.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in patient transport and healthcare services, especially those capable of facilitating non-emergency transportation between NHS facilities. Companies experienced in handling sensitive healthcare contracts, particularly those offering innovative solutions to enhance service quality and integration, are well-suited for such opportunities. The emphasis on social value and collaboration further aligns this tender with firms prioritising service sustainability and community welfare. Interested businesses should be ready to demonstrate their capability to meet the set criteria, contributing to reducing health inequities and improving access while maintaining superior service standards.
